Intrathoracic dislocation of the shoulder is a rare condition that usually occurs after high-energy trauma. Etiology, mechanism of injury and associated lesions are diverse. We present the case of a patient who suffered a great height fall, treated with removal of the humeral head and implantation of a shoulder hemiarthroplasty. One year after the surgery, the patient was pain free and the Constant score was 70 points.

Displaced fracture of the distal third of the clavicle usually occurs after direct trauma to the shoulder and typically results in superior displacement of the proximal fragment. We report a previously undescribed case of downward displacement of the clavicle caused by a fall on an outstretched hand, and we suggest the mechanism of injury.

Galeazzi fracture-dislocations and radial head fractures are not exceptional lesions separately. However, the association between those conditions is extremely unusual. This is the second case reported in literature depicting a Galeazzi fracture-dislocation and radial head fracture concomitantly. We present a case and suggest the mechanism of production of this rare injury.
